Holy schnoiks, a CNN employee asked a real question. Not only that, but they asked a real question to a White House adviser. Not only that, but they asked a real question to a White House adviser on COVID. It's a question I'm sure some of you have been asking: Florida vs. California. California is locked down AF. Florida lets people live their best lives while still taking proper CDC-endorsed precautions. Yet according to the CNN reporter, the two states aren't that much different when it comes to COVID. Which is liberal media speak for "Florida is kicking California's smug little heinies, but the Florida governor is a Republican."

WH Adviser Challenged on FL Handling COVID Better Than CA - Louder With Crowder
WH Adviser Challenged on FL Handling COVID Better Than CA - Louder With Crowder:
The "baby-steps" to 1984.
"I’m trying to think my way through something. As people who read my posts know, I sometimes use social media as a yuge, bigly chalkboard to refine my thought process through comments. Tell me what I am missing here – I’m trying to define the past, present and future process of the decay of our First Amendment rights:
1. We begin with constitutionally protected free speech and free expression for all.
2. Social propriety forbids certain subjects to be discussed in “polite company”, but even those matters can be openly discussed in smaller, private groups appropriate to the subject.
3. Political correctness extends social self-censorship to public forums.
4. Cancel culture physically enforces political correctness when non-state actors ruin reputations, end careers and generally exclude people from public debate by public pressure on employers and organizations.
5. Speech bans extend cancel culture when private and public non-state entities codify rules that forbid the use of certain language and expression of certain ideas.
6. Tyranny begins when the state begins creating and enforcing laws and regulations expressly forbidding the public expression of certain words, phrases, or ideas.
7. Indoctrination begins when only non-banned speech and ideas can be taught in state funded and controlled schools.
8. Oppression is the final stage when the state begins to police speech and people fear to write, speak, or think in ways prohibited by law, even in private settings."

Friday Funny: nature makes a mockery of month-ahead model forecasts.
"Sometimes, you just have to laugh. Earth is a complex system, and forecasting weather events in such a complex system is no easy task due to the built in entropy aka “chaos” of dynamic weather systems.
- The best we are able to forecast into the future with and skill is about 7 to 10 days.
- 30 years ago, the best was 5 days...
...So much for model forecasting skill less than a month ahead.
...But we are expected to believe unverified climate models have useful forecast skill years, decades, or even a century in advance...Read all.

Crisis PR Rep Sends Warning on Gina Carano Firing - Louder With Crowder
Crisis PR Rep Sends Warning on Gina Carano Firing - Louder With Crowder:
Gina Carano has been busy. She went from cancel culture warrior to canceled to writing and directing her own movies in only a few days. She told the haters and losers that she didn't consent to being canceled and laid out a blueprint for others to follow. This is good, because if a recent Hollywood Reporter article is any indication, any celebs slightly to the right of Karl Marx may find themselves in a similar situation. The author summarizes everything that led up to Carano being fired by Disney. This paragraph stood out.

Victor Davis Hanson--Our Descent Into Collective Madness? - American Greatness
Our Descent Into Collective Madness? - American Greatness
A pandemic led to national quarantine, to self-induced recession, to riot, arson, and looting, to a contested election, and to a riot at the Capitol.
- "An ungracious and neurotic elite whose judgment is bankrupt and whose privilege is paid for by those who don’t have it threatens to drag us to the depths of unreason."--By Victor Davis Hanson
"These are crazy times.
...Meanwhile, the United States will have to start paying down $30 trillion in debt.
But we seem more fixated on raising rather than reducing that astronomical obligation.
We are told man-made, worldwide climate change—as in the now discarded term “global warming”—can best be addressed by massive dislocations in the U.S. economy.
The Biden Administration plans to shut down coal plants.
It will halt even nearly completed new gas and oil pipelines.
It cuts back on fracking to embrace the multitrillion-dollar “Green New Deal.”

SHOW NOTES: Green Energy Fails America! #TexasPowerOutage - Louder With Crowder
SHOW NOTES: Green Energy Fails America! #TexasPowerOutage - Louder With Crowder:
So much for the power of green energy. The Texas power outages have utterly exposed the failures of green energy and the power of fossil fuels. And who exactly are the so-called "experts" Governor Andrew Cuomo is following?
"...You expect this kind of crap from North Korea and in some spots in South Asia because they are dirt poor..."
"The most amazing, yet intellectually inconsistent, aspect about the past few months is the evident inability we have as an allegedly prosperous nation to keep the lights on - even in two of the largest states in the nation, California and Texas.
California is a quasi-communist state under one-party rule, but Texas seems a Rime of the Ancient Mariner "water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" situation, even though the weather system is a rather infrequent occurrence.
You expect this kind of crap from North Korea and in some spots in South Asia because they are dirt poor but for America, it is more of a choice rather than an inevitability.
Our issues are driven by policy, not a lack of prosperity, resources or a lack of funding based on political agendas.
Republican or Democrat doesn't matter, this is just bad management.
Just remember - the policies of Joe Biden and his Democrat Green Nude Eel cabal are going to REDUCE access to energy resources, that's more bad management at a national level."

Energy expert: The real lesson in Texas power failure is 'inadequacy of unreliable energy' - TheBlaze
Energy expert: The real lesson in Texas power failure is 'inadequacy of unreliable energy' - TheBlaze:
With as much gas and oil as Texas has — and not to mention its own power grid — why in the world is Texas experiencing such bad power outages?
Center for Industrial Progress president and founder Alex Epstein joined "The Glenn Beck Radio Program" to lay out what he's found.
Alex said he believes the "fundamental" problem is "the insistence on using unreliable wind and solar energy instead of reliable energy from coal, nuclear, and natural gas." And soon, it may not be just Texas, as President Joe Biden pushes for 100% dependency on green energy nationwide. This is the "real lesson of Texas," he warned.

GRAFT is what government-run passenger trains are all about.
Instapundit--THE DESIRE NAMED STREETCAR:
A Global Leader in Obsolete Technology.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg wants to make the United States the “global leader” in high-speed rail. That’s like wanting to be the world leader in electric typewriters, rotary telephones, or steam locomotives, all technologies that were once revolutionary but are functionally obsolete today. High-speed trains, in particular, were rendered obsolete in 1958, when Boeing introduced the 707 jetliner, which was twice as fast as the fastest trains today.
Aside from speed, what makes high-speed rail obsolete is its high cost. Unlike airlines, which don’t require much infrastructure other than landing fields, high-speed trains require huge amounts of infrastructure that must be built and maintained to extremely precise standards. That’s why airfares averaged just 14 cents per passenger-mile in 2019, whereas fares on Amtrak’s high-speed Acela averaged more than 90 cents per passenger-mile.
Highways require infrastructure but not this level of precision. While a four-lane freeway costs about $10 million to $20 million a mile, California ended up spending $100 million a mile building its abortive high-speed rail line on flat ground, and it predicted building in hilly territory would cost at least $170 million per mile.
Graft is what government-run passenger trains are all about.

The dark side of ‘green energy’ and its threat to the nation’s environment
...A briefing paper released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency predicts these startling global numbers for countries by 2050 just for solar waste:
- What happens to old solar panels, windmills and high tech batteries?
"...But how green is green?
- United States, 10 million tons.
- Germany, 3 million tons.
- China, 20 million tons.
- Japan, 7.5 million tons.
- India, 7.5 million tons.
...The paper points out that the growth of solar waste is already straining recycling and disposal capabilities, with some panels improperly ending up in municipal landfills or stacking up in warehouses while the wait continues for more inexpensive routes to recycling...Read all.
